Maaya Thila

By day Maaya Thila is a lovely, compact pinnacle — turtles wedged under ledges, frogfish on the sponges, batfish escorting divers around the rim. After dark it becomes the most famous night dive in the Maldives. Whitetip reef sharks hunt in packs through the torch beams, ricocheting between coral heads after sleeping fusiliers, while moray eels free-swim and stonefish wait on the rubble. The action happens at comfortable depths on a circumnavigable reef, which is why liveaboards anchor here night after night. Its protected status has kept the thila's coral and its cast intact.

您此行的高光时刻: Pack-hunting whitetips at night; turtles and frogfish by day

地形地貌: Round thila topping out near 6 meters, ringed by overhangs and satellite coral heads

水流: Usually manageable around the 80-meter-wide pinnacle, but the top can funnel flow between coral heads.

危险因素: Night-dive separation and boat traffic above a busy anchorage.

保育: Protected marine area; keep torch beams short on hunting sharks and off resting turtles.
